I went to Furusato Noen with Ayako to harvest potatoes.

  We have been waiting for consecutive fine days to come to harvest potatoes, but it was cloudy, today, too, and a very strong typhoon is approaching southern Japan, so we couldn't expect to have a good day in near future for harvesting. We went to Furusato Noen, and harvested potatoes and green soy beans ( edamame ). We gathered two and a half corrugated cardboards of potatoes, and about two bowls of edamame. We ate edamame for lunch and it was very good.
